Title

0807.TE.2 Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering design porcess was successfully applied.

Vocabulary:

1.Technology- the use of scientific ideas to solve problems and make people's lives easier/ everything around you
2.Engineering- the process of creating technology/ creating stuff
3.Engineering Design Process- the process engineers use to develop a new technology/ process engineers use
4.Prototype- a working model of a technology that is being developed/ first model of a product
5.Cost-Benefit Analysis- the process of determining whether the cost of doing something is worth the benefit provided/ is it worth it?
6.Bioengineering- the use of techonology to alter or improve living things/ improving living things
7.Assistive Bioengineering-engineering that results in a product or process that helps living organisms but does not change them permenently/ not permanent
8.Adaptive Bioengineering-engineering that results in a product or process that changes living organisms/ permanent
9.Performance Testing- the evaluation of a product under the actual conditions in which it will be used/ testing on a product
10.Risk-Benefit Analysis- the process of weighing the potentional harm from a new technology against its possible benefits/ harm to benefit ratio
11.Engineer- a person who designs, or contructs, and operates new forms of techonology/ person who makes stuff
